BioLogos Advisor Elaine Howard Ecklund will present at InterVarsity’s Blue Ridge Faculty Conference “Integrating Faith and Academic Work: Lessons from Research and Life” from June 25-28, 2020 in North Carolina.

“How do Christian and non-Christians think about faith and work? Drs. Ecklund and Daniels will explore this question and its implications for life together in the academy, examining how Christians in different disciplines think about their work in light of their faith and their faith in light of their work. ​They will also explore ways we can engage in spiritual disciplines ​within the context of our own work.”
